Now Available: MDS Section Q Webinar Recording and Handouts
The Minnesota Board on Aging and Minnesota Department of Health hosted a free webinar last week on how section Q of the MDS is used to target state resources towards assisting those nursing home residents who wish to return to a community setting. The webinar and handouts are now available for members to download.
The webinar covered such questions as:
- How do I complete MDS Section Q when the person has dementia?
- What happens when I indicate I need to make a referral to the Local Contact Agency?
- Who is the Local Contact Agency and does a referral automatically get made to them?
- How is Senior LinkAge Line® involved?
- What if the county is already working with the resident to go home?
- How do I explain to the resident why I’m asking these questions?
- What should the resident expect when I make a referral?
The handouts are available here and a recording of the webinar can be downloaded here.
